Curtains are twitching and tongues are wagging in Shakespeare’s suburban comedy of mischief and double-dealing where the women get the last laugh.

The Merry Wives of Windsor

Royal Shakespeare Theatre

Don't miss As You Like It, in The Holloway Garden Theatre this summer. At just 1 hour 20 minutes long, this edited version is a great first introduction to Shakespeare, or just a lovely way to see his timeless comedy in glorious surroundings.

As You Like It

Royal Shakespeare Company

A full-scale production set in a world of rivalry, rebellion, and forbidden love. In the heat of Verona, two young lovers are torn between loyalty and desire, family and fate. As the deadly feud between the Montagues and Capulets rages on, Romeo and Juliet risk everything for a love that defies their world.

Romeo & Juliet
